I really love these cars for some dumb reason. The quality and engineering are just from a bygone day I guess. They were in so many movies of the day they kind of bring them back when I see one. I never owned one, but I looked at one and I'm still kicking myself for not buying it. It was a
MINT condition 70 250 from CA, with around 60k miles on it. 2nd owner put maybe 1k miles on it in a year and decided to put it up for sale for $6k, which was a bit rich even two years ago. But what a time warp car it was with no major imperfections I could fine saving the back door window trim & the front speaker cover; I'm sure it had more issues but the over all package was just awesome. It had the original factory tourist pick-up and shipping info, all service records, tools, manuals and then some. The chrome looked brand new, in fact the whole car looked brand new.
For under $2k, check it out and if the compression, etc checks out, BUY the thing! The color rocks! Looks to be almost one of a kind, I don't recall seeing that color ever, at least on the East Coast anyway? Beautiful car!
Here's a few of the one that got away!
Keep us posted.
